Winter Trend to Try: Go Pretty AND Powerful in a White Pantsuit

While sadly, the holidays and New Year's Eve celebrations are dunzo, that just means a fresh new year—and a whole new season of fun trends to play with! So let's take some inspiration on how to wear winter white from the always surprising Rihanna and her glam-chic New Year's Eve outfit.

The songstress pre-gamed on NYE with a dinner party in her penthouse digs in Manhattan—playing host to friends including It model [Cara Delevingne](/about/cara-delevingne) on the left over there—and looked amazing in an update of the classic power-grrl Le Smoking pantsuit. (She [documented it all on Instagram](http://instagram.com/badgalriri), if you want to check out the play-by-play.)

To modernize the look, Ri Ri opted for a slouchier silhouette on the pants, a satiny finish to the winter white, and a sexy black midriff-baring corset as a layer. The whole effect is elegantly glamorous but with a slight touch of signature Rihanna bad-girl edge. Maybe a look for your next party hosting gig in 2014? She even wore her outfit into the kitchen...

Risky in all white if you ask me, but she (and her outfit) made it through unscathed. Shop out some Rihanna-inspired winter-white power suits right here:
